Croissant French Toast image

More like a scrumptious dessert than a main dish, this rich French toast is topped with a tangy raspberry sauce and a vanilla sauce that includes ice cream. I cut the croissants into shapes with a cookie cutter for my 4-year-old grandson, Patrick. He even asks for the "ice cream sauce" on pancakes! -June Dickenson Philippi, West Virginia

I didn't like the flavor of this recipe. I thought the croissants were too overpowering.

I found this recipe to be a bit dry. I would add more milk to the custard next time.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the custard next time.
